From The Beginning

Let me start by thanking you for listening to my story and letting me share my experiences with you. 

Kissing Couple, Man, Feet, Boots, Snow


I will start my story letting you know a little bit on how my husband and I met. Our story began back in 2007 when we were both in high school. We met in history class our junior year in high school. He was a laid-back skateboarder and I was an angsty teen who was into photography and music. It was a project for my photography class that brought us together. We dated all through high school and in college we moved in together. During our time in college we adopted 2 cats (female- mixed breed, male- flame point siamese) and 2 dogs (female & male- husky and malamute mix). Shortly after graduating with our bachelor's degrees at Wichita State University we got engaged. My husband went back to college to get his master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and I worked my way up at a local credit union in town. Fast forward to now, we have been married for two years and needless to say we are not the same laid-back skateboarder and angsty teen we once were when we first met. We are both now proud parents of our beautiful daughter who was born in June of 2018.  It was when we found out that I was pregnant back in November of 2017 that we decided that I would become a stay at home mama after she was born. We have a full house with 2 cats, 2 dogs and now a baby and our lives are only bound to get crazier.

I bought this robe and I loved it. The fabric is soft and so comfortable that I am still using and love it.  Comfy Clothes   You are going to want to wear something baggy for when you go home. I bought these pants because they were able to fit over all of the padding that I was wearing and I got black just in case I leaked at all.  Nursing Bra/Tank Top I got these tank tops for sleeping and wearing under my shirts because it was form fitting and helped hold everything where it's supposed to be.  Belly Bandit I wore this the next day after giving birth. I used the size calculator off of their website to see what size I needed. I got the small size and I was able to get it on using the largest hoops right after delivering. After wearing it for a couple...

Recovery

After the delivery my daughter and I, my husband and my mom were moved to a recovery room, which is where we stayed for the next 2 days. As soon as we were wheeled into the recovery room I realized just how hungry I was. My husband called the cafeteria to order some lunch but since it was around 2:30 pm when we called, all that they had to order on the menu was cold cut sandwiches. Since I didn't really have much to choose from I just ordered a turkey sandwich with some chips and a pickle. Even though it was a slow time for food deliveries, I still had to wait for what seemed like forever but was probably no more than 30 minutes. My mom had to leave since she had class that evening so soon after she left my husbands mother arrived to meet our daughter. Shortly after she arrived the lactation nurse came in to help with getting our daughter to latch. She was still pretty lethargic and we were having a hard time keeping her awake long enough to try and get her to latch. Sin...
